Changsha, in a small one-room suite on an underground network.

A room that is only about 20 meters away is equipped with a separate toilet, water heater, sofa, and even a 46-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall. Such equipment is really a luxury for a captured prisoner of war.

Cruz was lying in bed, wearing nothing but a pair of panties. There was a TV in the room, but he wasn't even interested in flipping the switch. "Hmph, that kind of thing, as soon as you open it, it must be all short films like government decree propaganda, and you want to assimilate me in this subtle way, but there is no door." That's what Cruz is saying.

He's been locked up here for three days and three nights, and he's had a frightening amount of time in front of such a quiet room, and to be honest, he's not boring. At first, he just picked up a notebook on the table, tore off the pages of paper, folded them into various paper airplanes, one by one, tried to make different shapes, and then tried to make a cut on various parts of the wing, and then tried to fly to test the slightly different flight effects.

In the past, he had always been a person who worked hard non-stop, studying how to make the new mech better every day, and constantly honing his mecha piloting skills, and now he suddenly stopped like this. To be honest, he must have been quite unaccustomed. And every day, the girl in the waiter's clothes came to the door, opened the door, brought the hot meal, and after half an hour, came to send the plate or something.

Cruz noticed that the girl didn't have any defensive equipment, and she didn't look like she knew any martial arts when she walked.

"Hmph, someone must be secretly watching, if I dare to do something to her, those 'bodyguards' will rush out and kill me." Cruz thought.

He had been lying in bed all day, and he had done nothing from dawn until dark.

And at this moment, a crisp sound rang at the doorbell. "Jingle bell, jingle bell." The pace of the person who pressed the door was a little slow, and Cruz immediately sensed that this should not be the girl who usually brought food to him.

"Wait a minute, it's coming, what kind of life." Cruz replied impatiently, then got up and put on a pair of jeans, and thought for a moment before putting on the new T-shirt again.

He opened the door. To his surprise, what he saw was a chubby middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was dressed in black, his skin was polished, but there was no haughty look on his face. He just nodded slightly to Cruz and said, "I'm really sorry, it will take half an hour for the food to be delivered, so you will be happy in vain." ”

This man turned out to be Dean Lin of the Association of Cooperatives. Cruz's such a high-level status frightened Cruz, he rubbed his nose that was not itching, as if he wanted to hide his slightly uneasy emotions with such an action, and said, "Come in, it's all here anyway." ”

"Hey, why don't you turn on the TV and the windows don't open." As soon as Dean Lin entered the room, he didn't talk to Cruz about any major matters, but first turned on the TV, then opened the curtains and pushed the large glass window open, so that although the air conditioner was still on indoors, the fresh air outside finally blew in.

"Hmph, I want you to take care of it." Cruz replied with some unhappiness, as if Dean Lin owed him a sum of money. However, he did not turn off the turned on appliances and equipment.

On TV, a Taiwanese host hosts a TV show in a hilarious style, and on a talk show, the male host makes yellow jokes about female celebrities, and then a group of people laugh happily.

- It turned out that it was not a government decree program.

Cruz chuckled inwardly.

Perhaps noticing the emotions of this special guest, Dean Lin said: "You should watch more of these happy programs, people's lives are too short, there is nothing wrong with laughing more." ”

Cruz glared at him and said nothing.

Dean Lin seemed to realize that the other party would be wrong, and explained: "I will also watch these shows myself, no matter how busy I am every day, I will spare at least 45 minutes to watch variety shows while exercising on the treadmill, I call this method a 'double relaxation' of body and spirit." At this point, he smiled like a naughty boy.

"Heh, a busy person like you should indeed maintain a higher exercise intensity." It's rare that this time, Cruz didn't choke on the other party again, and he had already begun to take the initiative to drink.

- Is this because the other party's words and deeds have never been mixed with disrespectful emotions?

Cruz doesn't quite know. It was also at this time that Dean Lin smiled and said, "Actually, you work so hard to improve yourself every day, and the intensity of your mental and physical strength may be greater than mine, so I think you may also need this method." ”

Cruz was stunned. He didn't expect that the number one leader of the Changsha Mecha Association would spend precious time here, and he didn't talk about any nonsense about making himself subordinate to the other party, but instead cared about his own health problems.

"It's a rarity. Oh, such a superb lobbying method. Cruz thought to himself, "However, no matter how much effort is wasted in the future, the fox will definitely show its tail in the end." Just wait for you to ask, and let me refuse you again. ”

After having a little thought in his mind in such a general way, Cruz relaxed.

Next, Dean Lin chatted with him about the accommodation environment of this room, the service attitude of the waiter, and whether there are any daily necessities that need to be added every day, and then, in Cruz's surprised eyes again, he walked to the door, saluted very politely, and said: "When I go down in a while, urge the waiter to see if the dinner is ready." ”

He smiled and walked off.

It was usually six o'clock in the evening, and on that day, fresh and hearty meals were delivered at five forty o'clock.

Since this visit, basically every two or three days, Dean Lin will come to this guest's room, and every time he will talk about some very trivial topics, such as the recent performance of the national football team, the psychology of murderers in the social news, how pitiful the teenager is now, and so on. However, it is strange that Dean Lin has never brought up the topic that Cruz was expecting in his heart......

Finally, when the two of them were sitting on the balcony of the room again drinking tea, Cruz couldn't help it, and he asked, "Mr. Lin, I know what you have come to me all the time for, but I tell you, I can't ......"

At this point, Dean Lin patted the young man's arm and interrupted him. He picked up the cup of black tea in front of the young man, delivered it to the young man's hand, pointed to the sky outside the window, and said, "Such a beautiful scenery, we need to cherish and appreciate it." If people don't live in the present, they will never be happy. ”

Cruz froze. He picked up the cup of black tea and took a sip gently. The tea is fragrant and sweet, giving people a very warm and warm feeling, he looked at the blue sky outside the window, this day, the wind is very light, the clouds are very light.

- It turned out that all this, which was so easy and pleasant every day, was ignored by myself.

He suddenly laughed and said, "That's right, even if there is a big problem, if it can't be solved now, then it's not worth wasting the precious time to think about it now." ”

Dean Lin nodded and said, "You are a person I admire because you are very smart. Just like when I was younger. ”

That night, Cruz was overjoyed for Dean Lin's words for a long, long time.

It turns out that if I work hard enough, I can become such a respected person. It turns out that if you give up some of your own freedom and happiness, you can also get the approval of others, and the recognition and respect of others is actually a more important thing for everyone than he originally expected in his own heart.

After that time, Dean Lin came three more times. Every three times, Cruz took the initiative to speak: "Dean Lin, if you still look up to me, let me join the machine association." ”

For some reason, when he said this, Cruz, who was already in his twenties, seemed to have returned to the time when he was in his teens when he first learned mechas, he was so excited, so yearning for the life ahead, and so apprehensive.

It's funny that when he, a prisoner, wants to surrender to the other party, he is still afraid that the other party will not agree......

"Of course I can afford you." Dean Lin's words finally made Cruz's mood relax, and he said, "However, I want to tell you one thing, our machine association is not interested in you because of your super ability. ”

Yes? What's going on?

For Cruz, he can't think of anything he can do for the other party outside of his own skills.

Dean Lin continued to speak, "At the same time, I still want to remind you that for us, you are a morally questionable person, and we do not approve of many things you have done before. ”

"Are you entertaining me, then?" Cruz suddenly became annoyed and ashamed, stood up at once, and shouted loudly, "You know what happened to me before, but you still come to play with me like a dog, don't you?" ”

He questioned the boss of the machine association directly, and no matter what privileges the other party had now, even such an important thing as "the other party can kill his own life like pinching an ant with a gentle finger of his hand" has been forgotten.

Now, he was just a very angry young man, and he wished he could vent his depressed thoughts, and that's all.

That's it, that's enough.
